Here is what a client named Matthew has to say about working with Natalie:

We can't express how incredibly grateful we are to have come across Maine Doulas. Natalie is/was our Doula and she is an absolute dream support person. We took her hypno-birthing class (absolute magic - in a barn - in the woods of wolfe's neck), had her for in person birth support and many hours of newborn and postpartum care. She has an incredible calm and confident presence. She really listens and provides the most thoughtful and smart advice. She has helped all three of us in so many ways (and still is). During the labor her support was perfect. She knew exactly how to support Laura through every stage verbally and physically. She over delivered on every single aspect of care. We can't recommend her enough.

A few weeks after the birth we had a very rough day and we called her to talk things through. We asked for some overnight support in the coming days - her response - "How about tonight?" We would have never requested this type of immediate support. She truly cares for her clients and is a superhero. She has a real love and passion for what she does. She came within 4 hours of our text with two dozen eggs from her chickens. You will not find a better support person.

We love you Natalie!

Here is what a client named Lindsay Maielli has to say about working with Rebecca:

Rebecca was our doula during the labor and birth of our second child. She actually filled in as a back up to our doula when she had an unexpected illness right before I was due. We were so grateful that Rebecca stepped in at our time of need. Although we did not meet her face to face until I was in active labor, she jumped right in as soon as she arrived! My labor went very quickly- 3 hours total and only 9 minutes of pushing- to all of our surprise- but Rebecca was invaluable to my husband and I during the intense and beautiful process! She knew my nurse that was on duty which made me feel like I had a team surrounding me. She allowed and helped my husband to be my first responder and helper. She affirmed us both throughout my labor and helped me feel at ease. She was a knowledgable sounding board when I had questions as I progressed. She applied pressure to my lower back when my contractions got so intense and it really helped. She made me feel calm. With Rebecca and my husband's support I was able to have the natural, drug-free birth that I was hoping to have! It was a beautiful and empowering experience. She helped me after delivery too and helped me feel calm and confident as the doctors helped me through the postpartum part of my delivery and as I nursed my newborn for the first time. She gave us lots of encouragement. My husband and I both were so grateful to have her support and expertise with us during one of our (now) most treasured memories of all time- the birth of our daughter! Anyone would be so blessed to have her as their birth partner/doula!!

Here is what a client named Marissa Valente Pacheco has to say about working with Shannon :

Since our baby's birth, I have been filled with joy, overwhelming support, and searching for a way to properly articulate the experience to others. In those communications one thing is always clear, neither my partner nor I can imagine what the experience would have been like without the incredible Shannon Mackey! Shannon takes her role as a doula very seriously. However, it is her friendly, inviting, and familiar demeanor that allows her to feel like family. She provides knowledge, insights, and a support person to check in with if questions arise or you need a friend to talk to. She supports all types of birth and truly allowed my partner and I to take the lead, while feeling like we had access to all her knowledge to lean in to. She helped us think about aspects of birth and labor that we had not thought of. When I went in for the "past due" ultrasound, my ob suggested an induction. It was then that my partner and I went to the hospital to begin this process. We had no idea we would be starting on a 54 hours process to meet our son. Shannon was prompt and available to discuss induction, my options, what it would look like, and how it compared to my birth plan. She provided information that was not given by medical professionals and allowed me to feel empowered. She showed up early in the induction/labor experience and stayed with us until the very end (even sleeping on the floor one night). She provided endless support, brought us food & tea, walked the halls, sang to us, explained medical jargon, advocated for us, and cried with us. In the middle of labor, I vividly remember her telling me a story. This is a story I now tell my son. To say that Shannon acted as our doula somehow feels like an understatement, we feel like she is family and will not experience a pregnancy, labor, or birth without her there. She truly was invaluable to our birth experience. We HIGHLY recommend Shannon Mackey for all aspects of family planning and support.
